This seated lamb cast iron cake mold is a traditional European Easter cake form. What makes it so unusual is its green enamel finish on the outside and white enamel on the inside. The overall condition is quite good. There is enamel wear on the outside and inside, appropriate to its age and use.
There has been some touch up on the white enamel edges on the inside.The mold measures 15 1/2" from handle to handle, and is 8 1/2" at its tallest point.

The Royal George sank on August 29,1782. It was recovered in 1839. This information is inscribed on the silver cap atop a booted leg shaped pipe tamper - one of the souvenirs made of the ship's wood after the wreck was raised in 1840. At some point the boot lost its toe and it was restored with a piece of bone carved to replicate the toe portion of the boot.
For more info on this wreck see www.heritage.co.uk
The site mentions souvenirs made of the ship's wood and shows a letter opener.

Most unusual English match holder, striker
and candle holder. This a type known as a go-to-bed. This detailed little box has the top and bottom crafted of a beautiful beveled agate set in a brass frame which also incorporates the striker and a clever design-the right side, which holds a tiny candle, folds out to light your way.
Very convenient if you were a guest in a 19th century stately home and a splendid addition to a match safe or box collection.
The box is 1 7/8" long, 1 1/4" deep and 3/4" deep. Lovely color and condition.

Floral decorations on both sides and around
the ears distinguish this piece of American stoneware. This ovoid crock is
10" tall and its maximum circumference is 26".The base is 5 3/8" in diameter. There is one small chip on the upper rim ( 1/4" at the top, going down to 1/2"). There is also a 1/2" flake under one of the ears.
Aside from these two minor faults the crock really is great.
